The Westmont Farmers Market will not return in 2019, according to post on social media by its founder and manager.

"Greetings to all the loyal customers, vendors & musicians of the Westmont Farmers Market over the last 10 years," begins the note, posted Tuesday afternoon on the farmers market's Facebook page. "This message is to thank you for your participation in the market over the years — and to inform you that the market has been discontinued for the 2019 season."

Doug Kelly, a Westmont salon owner, had planned to hand over the reins as manager of the market he founded 10 years ago.

"I could only hope it would continue and grow into something we all could enjoy for years," he wrote in the comments of the same post. "I thank you all for the years of support you gave us."

According to the post, the Haddon Township Business Improvement District Advisory Board, in its annual budget review, discontinued funding for the market for 2019.

"The board discussed new ways to engage the community and local businesses in weekly and bi-monthly events throughout the spring and summer seasons," the post says.

Calls to Kelly and Julie Dengler, the business improvement district director, were not immediately returned.

The Westmont Farmers Market set itself apart as a weeknight market, taking place each Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. in a bustling part of Haddon Avenue from May through October. It began on Stratford Avenue, with the side street closed to vehicular traffic and string lights hanging above.

In 2017, the market moved to a much larger lot at Haddon and East Albertson avenues.

Featuring a host of food trucks from throughout South Jersey, it also had vendors offering fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared foods from Haddon Township institutions like Severino Pasta and musical entertainment.

The post drew dozens of comments, all expressing disappointment about the end of the market.
